With soaring tuition and student debt, how did higher education get into this situation? This book explores how colleges became reliant on new revenue streams, asks who should be paying, and identifies key outcomes for the future of the academy.
Colleges and universities have been the subject of much public scrutiny for soaring tuition prices, student debt, and exorbitant spending on sports. But how did the higher education industry get into this situation? This book explores not only how higher education became reliant on different revenue streams but asks important questions about who could and should be paying for the services they provide. College leaders have often answered these questions from the perspective of what is best for their own institutions, often getting creative in finding new ways to fund their operations, such as fundraising, outsourcing certain activities, exclusive contracts, and even real estate investment. This book provides an important introduction to the how and why higher education finance has become what it is today and identifies several key projected outcomes for the future of the academy.
